Amy was refreshing

Amy was refreshing. She was very knowledgeable, didn’t give a typical sales pitch and spoke to me and not my husband about my car. She also bent over backwards to ensure I was happy when there were delays. There need to be more females like Amy working in car sales.

VW Ruislip has the worst customer service
Sold us a car that wasnt roadworthy.

Head office customer service was not helpful either, they favoured the branch and didnt listen to our issues we had with the car!

We will be taking it further through the financial ombudsman

Dont ever deal with the sales manager HP
And Scot the service manager..worst customer service from both managers!

Eight months into the purchase of an…

Eight months into the purchase of an approved used Skoda Octavia, the driver's side sun visor came off in my hand. I have tried to get both Skoda and Citygate to pay for this under warranty, but both have given me the finger. This is the second time in my life that VW have treated me appallingly - the previous time, parts started failing on my vehicle after their special 'software fix' for the Dieselgate scandal. It seems that once you've spent your money, VW Group simply does not care. I am clearly the mug for buying another car from them and giving them a second chance. VW Group is losing money hand over first to Chinese companies now, and it's not hard to see why. A dishonest, greedy company that doesn't deserve anyone's business. Avoid.

I had a very positive experience with Tasana

I had a very positive experience with Citygate Škoda Service Colindale for my car’s service and repairs. Tassana was very helpful throughout the process and took the time to answer all my questions.
Many thanks to Tassana and the team for their excellent service!

I recently had a fantastic car-buying experience at Volkswagen, and I have to give credit where it's due. Zachary and Hamid were the two people who made an absolute difference throughout the entire process.
Both were incredibly knowledgeable and clearly understood their vehicles inside and out, answering every question with confidence and clarity. What stood out most was their communication — they stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process, and whenever I had a query, they responded promptly and never left me waiting.
It's rare to find that level of attentiveness and expertise combined, and it made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Thank you to Zachary and Hamid for going above and beyond — I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a VW at Citygate Watford!
